Your motherboard supports the Intel Xeon E3 series from bios 3901 and up.
The I7 2700 Sandybridge appears to be the highest supported I7, and the Xeon E3-1245 will be faster even thou it is clocked a little slower due to the TRL and math unit differences when all cores are active. It is less expensive than a I7 2600 as well.
The ES-1270 V3 will probably work on the board as well, but I would ask ASUS if that is the case just to be sure.
On the flipside of this, the I7's are overclockable with proper cooling and the Xeons are limited in what you can get away with overclock wise.
Those motherboards are also know for memory issues above 16gig. (second channel doa syndrome)
